The Suede Skirt Is The One Item You Need For Your Fall Wardrobe

01:10:00

This season, I'm finding myself caring less about patterns, prints, and colors, and more about shape, material, and structure. All three of these qualities embody the suede skirt — the one item you need for fall. What's so great about suede, you ask? Well, it may not hold up well in the rain, but it's guaranteed to keep you warm when the leaves begin to fall and temperatures hit below our comfort zones.

Suede, a material that once struck me as gaudy (I was scarred from the patched suede coats and skirts of yesteryear), is actually quickly becoming one of my favorites, especially in the form of a skirt. And since I basically want to stretch out my time of not wearing pants for as long as I can, it's the perfect item for fall, paired with a knee-high boot, or simply with stockings and sandals. Still loving that trend, by the way.

Much like how the color camel immediately makes an item look more luxurious and expensive, the same goes with suede. It's a step up from your cotton items. When picked out carefully and styled correctly, it looks like a million bucks. 'Tis the season for neutral colors, minimal vibes, and more shapeless silhouettes. I can't think of what incorporates all three more than this must-have item. Move over, Alexa Chung skirt (which, by the way, is literally on every storefront these days), and say hello to the suede skirt of your autumn dreams.

Ok, so I lied, the Alexa Chung skirt isn't going away, and why should it? The suede version is a bit dressier than its famous denim twin, and paired with a chunky sweater like this one, you've got a comfy and stylish outfit.

Love the '70s feel of this skirt. Plus, the rust/brown color is absolutely gorgeous.

This fall, let your legs roam free — they deserve it. And if you're lucky enough not to have sub-zero weather, rock these skirts in the winter, too. Just remember to throw on a thick pair of tights, sturdy boots, and please, oh please, don't forget the suede protector!
